Fat People
“Fat is a choice,” is ostensibly correct but leaves out a lot and is terribly oversimplified. Work 9-5, gym membership, Whole Foods delivery makes living lean a bit easier of a choice than someone who works irregularly and hasta drive across town to buy vegetables. Yes, certainly that person and “choose to not be fat,” but it comes significantly harder. Not gonna Stan for the fats, but the complexity of the issue is far beyond the mental capabilities of most Surly posters. Now I gotta hang up. Personal chef gonna be here shortly.

Fat People
Before the next holiday speak to them 1:1. “My views on healthy living include portion control. That is very hard because of how tasty your meals are. And it is nothing personal when I decline seconds. I know there is always more available to me and I know how much I want. Please don’t pester me about it. I do not appreciate it.” If they persist, you persist to. Raise the sharpness until they stop.

He doesn’t eat until he kneels 30 min. If that kneeling happens only after he passes out for starvation, so be it. Prison rules.

Markets still falling like whoa
I live in Sioux Falls, a city that has had strong growth for like 30 years. (We are the Austin of the nothern plains.) City government gets most of its revenue from sales tax. 2025 budget was for 6% YoY growth. I presume that growth assumption was a rather pragmatic, as I see our government as pragmatic in general. So we say January sales tax numbers this week. 6% growth budgeted. 0.1% actual. Just January. Folks just tightening up in anticipation of tariff inflation. Woof.

How is it in the summer?

Tariff wars, they have began
I have friends, college-educated professionals, who have gone all in on this. Historically we have kindly discussed/debated our views on politics and economy. This time we are not. Seems to me the results will be obvious by Labor Day and the best thing is to be quiet and let them witness in person. If the bad things we think will happen...happen, any rational man will recognize it. And any person who does NOT recognize it never will. No point in engaging in conversation then either.

28 Years Later. Boyle. Garland. 2025
Seems soldiers going to Zombie Island should trade their heavy body armor for chain mails or a Carhart hooded jacket. And maybe some safety glasses.
